Super Cool Video. In the late 80's I dismantled a "locomotive" boiler that had been installed in 1923 in a Hotel in Plymouth MI. Once all the asbestos was abated, the old boiler was in remarkable shape. the tubes were over 10 foot long. and we removed in 100lbs at a time from that basement. It was still in working order when we tore it down.
Thanks for taking the time, and effort to show not only the Case 150, but that JD 44 bottom. The drone footage really puts these machines in perspective. I'll likely never get to see them in person, so this video means alot. I'm trying to imagine what it takes to operate and turn that thing so that it's properly positioned at each run....massive machines.
What a sight to see. Truly impressive. Nice overhead view showing the scale of this machine, and it's capacity for work. A spot in history for the town of Andover, and your Perseverance in making this happen.
What a great video, Kory! That shot at 2:42 is a testament to the huge size of the machine - the mound of people on the back of the machine looks like a tiny bit of ants on a mole hill! What an AWESOME day/weekend!!! Can't wait until next year! It's pretty cool seeing myself in other people's videos, too. Ha ha. Gives me ideas on future filming ideas when I see different vantage points.
I remember seeing the original boiler for the 150 at George Hedtke steam shows in Davis Junction and Kings Illinois as a child. Met George at one of the shows. He would spend the time to talk even to a little boy about steam Kort hope some day to get the honor of meeting you in person. Thank you for fulfilling a dream of so many in building the mighty 150 case. My father would have loved to see it.
I like modern electric vehicles coz I care about environment, but I have mad respect for these kind of machine, the amount of adrenaline rush you receive by pressing that paddle, or accelerator is unmatched....
Electric vehicles are an environmental catastrophe. Mining of precious metals. Producing the electricity to recharge them with environmentally unfriendly devices. Want to save the planet? Walk.
i would argue this machine's biggest advantage is the lack of computes. In an end of the world scenario where computers get toasted, these machines will still be able to farm the land.
What a beautiful site to see the footage is amazing to watch how long is the plow and how wide is it any idea how many foot pounds of pull by the way Jay Leno stop by to see the 150 yet love watching the Case work
If I had to take a guess, drag and diagonal force. Each connection is longer but stays centered with the hitch so it pulls at the same rate. You can see the connections. (Probably better if you are on a computer but I’m not)
White men build. It's in his DNA, it's what he does... But the White Farmer creates and invents what nobody else could possibly think to build, just because it might make just one day out of his years of hard days just a little bit easier. ...and it is good.
not For Nothing But you Could build this with 21st Century Technologies and Liteteraly never use Petrol on a farm again. 1. Electric Boiler... Regenerative Power system/// we have everything.. Motion, light (photons), heat, Batteries, Capacitors etc.. 2. Boiler Liquid Source. recirculating plant oil 3. Body material for weight reduction
@@KyleCotton1 "they're just plowing" by this way, for sure, you never asked yourself questions and you have never put yourself in the place of the ground which is a structured and complex system...it's a living and inteligent system ! Soil is still a big unknown. People only see the ground as a surface. The life inside and its various actors escape the gaze, because they are microscopic. When you plowing him, you destructured him ; the soil isn't a lambda substrat you know. Did you see erosion ? Did you think whom brown water is natural ? The erosion is like the coffee juice, when the coffee seed is structured you dont have brown water but when you pass the coffee into a grinder you have brown water, because the coffee is destructured ! And the soil is opaque. Thats' why people cant know it. In a healthy soil, you have 1 billion of bacterias, 100 to 1000 species of fungy, 1 ton of worms per hectare. Soils are the terrestrials eco-systems. This diversity of actors in a healthy soil is the efficiency of which it works. A plowed and nude soil erodes as much as mountain soil ; even though there is no slope ! "That's how people have farmed for centuries" ok, so after your words, we can continue like this because mass of people do it from centuries... So what about wars ? False ! it worked at first because soil was fertile, there was nutrients because there was organic matter...at the very beginning of the "agricultural green revolution", there were many yields because there was still organic matter. But now nutrients come from outside by adding fertilizer inputs = mass of these fertilizer are sweep by the runoff water. But all this is not really the fault of the farmers, but of the agro-industrialists ! However, the demographic index of the planet is growing even though we lose billions of tons of soil every year ! So after you, what we have to do ? ...we cant create soil... Do you have children ? do you want whom they eat tomorrow? Me i dont have children, but it's been from many years i have been learning better what a soil...
@@amapolasola I think you just higly underestimate what ppl know about agriculture. I dont mean every farmer. But that ones who actually design this processes. And dont blame them for global inpacts. Its the ppl who wants to consume so much. Agriculture just tries to do the (nearly) impossible to makes ppl happy. If you want to do something useful for the planet, explain to people consumption issues. Dont break their toys. Its a battle you cannot win. Not even close.
